Title: Election Law Amendments

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to pass a bill that gives a person whose eligibility to vote has been challenged three days to verify his or her eligibility by affidavit to the county auditor.

Highlights:

-Decreases the number of early voting days from fifteen to seven days prior to the election (Sec. 2).

NOTE: ACCORDING TO THE STATE CONSTITUTION, A BILL MUST RECEIVE THE VOTES OF A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS ELECTED TO EACH CHAMBER IN ORDER TO BECOME LAW. THEREFORE, A BILL MAY RECEIVE MORE 'YEAS' THAN 'NAYS' AND STILL FAIL BECAUSE IT DID NOT RECEIVE 'YEA' VOTES FROM A MAJORITY OF THE MEMBERS OF THAT CHAMBER.
